The following is a list of items that will need to be provided to your attorney prior to filing your bankruptcy case:

Last 4 years of tax returns

Last 6 months of pay stubs

Insurance Policies (auto & life)

Deeds to real property, if applicable (Warranty Deed or Deed of Trust only)

Other Things You Will Need To Do

In addition to the foregoing, you will be required to attend a Pre-Bankruptcy Counseling Course and obtain a Certificate of Completion. Your bankruptcy case will not be able to be filed without that certificate.

You can also anticipate that your attorney will ask you to complete a detailed worksheet which will require you to list all of your debts and all of your assets, as well as information regarding your financial history.
